UF Intersections: Walls of Present and Future: The Genuine, the Imaginary, and the Fake in Global Climate Change Discourse

November 14, 2019 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm

Free

A roundtable discussion with Susanne Götze and UF Faculty Discussants: Marcel Lewandowsky (Center for European Studies), Jasmine McNealy (Journalism), Ken Sassaman (Anthropology), and Robert T. Walker (Geography); moderated by Terry Harpold (English).

In (spite of) the age of “fake news,” this panel discusses the necessary emergence of a global discussion on climate change that is powered both by data and by imagination.

This event is organized by the UF Mellon Intersections Group on Imagineering and the Technosphere with additional support from The Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany (Washington, D.C.), the Imagining Climate Change Initiative, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the UF International Center, the Center for European Studies, the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures, the Center for Medieval and Early Modern Studies, and the Waldo W. Neikirk Fund.
